The newly found (so-called) Caucasian Albanian Palimpsests [manuscripts stemming from the 6.-7. century AD] have now been fully deciphered, translated and edited by Jost Gippert, Wolfgang Schulze, Zaza Aleksidze, and Jean-Peirre Mahé. The two volumes (in 4to format, 650 pages) include a presentation of Caucasian Albanian, a full grammar of the language of the texts (including remarks on minor inscriptions, language history etc.), an editio minor of the texts (Gospel of John, Lectionary) for quick reference, indices and concordances (Caucasian Albanian/Old Armenian/Old Georgian/Russian/English/Udi), and (in the second volume) the editio princeps with photographs of the single parchment sheets, facsimiles, transliteration, and parallel texts in Armenian; Georgian, Russian, Syriac, English, and Udi.

The two volumes are going to be published at Brépols (Turnhout, Belgium), see http://www.brepols.net/catalogue/index.jsp?mpk=20295&art=875817. The publisher expects a relevant number of orders before starting to print the volumes (that shall appear this year in spring). In case libraries or individuals are interested in ordering the two volumes they are kindly invited to follow the link mentioned above.
